Hi! I'm Lauren, aspiring Appalachian Trail thru hiker, class of 2025! CO born, NH raised, and I've been dreaming of this all my life. I'm an Engineer, vegetarian, climate activist, and self-proclaimed sufferfest lover! I hiked the Colorado Trail in 2023 and can't wait for more roots, rocks, and nights sleeping on the ground. See you out there!
